Way to go Tulane! Great game, great season.

[@TheTimberwolf90]

To see Tulane getting this win is a big deal to me. The thing that Im most thrilled by is their determination on playing hard against the Knights. Fans were happy, the state of Louisiana is likely going to party, and its just nice to know their run has continued to carry them. This back in forth pace though had me worried to a small degree. Knights still played well enough when points were exchanged. Give Pratt the quarterback his respect though. His mobility is something real cool 2 recognize. Watts, Dorian Williams, and Shae Wyatt way to go. Green Wave in the House Baby.

[@benlaw4647]

Yep . Great turnaround from last season! Awesome season for Tulane.

[@sasquatchsmash4183]

This has been a great program build by Willie Fritz and, even as a LSU fan, I'm thrilled Tulane is being competitive at football again, but the bulk of the city of New Orleans, much less the entire state, can't be bothered to care about Tulane football...at this point. Just the nature of the beast when you have a terrible history and a small student body/alumni base that's mostly from out of state. Fritz has something going, though, and Tulane should be stoked that he stayed. Hopefully that new on-campus stadium finally starts to pay dividends on attendance and atmosphere. That small crowd can be good, from what I've gather on tv.

[@AirRaid1196]

Tulane's offense is serioussss! QB, RB, WRs were all balling. Congrats to them! Love seeing the wealth spread around rather than the same old teams winning their conferences

LMAO. RELAX. Give them credit for ONE good season. That's it. Do it consistently like Cincy and UCF and then we'll talk. That's why those two are headed to Big 12. They always hold their own almost EVERY year

[@Iamhimbutyouarenot]

@@transportman3498 this is a bad response 😂. You’re acting like they weren’t winning bowl games just a few years ago. Tulane is good now. Looks like the administration isn’t trying to kill it in purpose like so many have tried to do in the past. Deal with it.

[@user-kt7hq9hn9f]

@@transportman3498 4 bowls in 5 years, with 3 of them wins, is pretty consistent. Our recruiting is pretty darn solid under Coach Fritz. The trajectory for Tulane is upward. Cincy lost their head coach. They will struggle in the big 12 w/o Fickel as coach and recruiting will not be the same as when he was there.

As a big UCF fan, I tip my hat to Tulane. It was just their year. They made plays when it mattered and got the win. Nothing for UCF to hang their heads about. UCF not at full strength with injuries and QB hamstring problem. The other QB KEENE was in street clotbes and they put in fresham QB Castellanos at ine point. UCF had another successful season and will go bowling. With all the great new recruits coming in, UCF should be a monster in the Big 12 for years to come. On a negative note, the UCF defense was absolutely atrocious. What's up with that Travis?

[@Iamhimbutyouarenot]

Lot of excuses in there. Tulane had injuries too.

[@robertmoldaner533]

Actually, its not. If you go check all the metrics, total yards, explosive plays, etc, Tulane dominated. If it wasn't for the two fumbles by Tulane, one at the 3 and on in their own territory, this game would have been a 30 point win.

Tulane needs a bigger stadium

[@sasquatchsmash4183]

No, they don't. They have rarely filled Yulman's ~30,000 seats in the 9 seasons it's been up, with only 3 games at sell-out capacity. There were three games this year at or below half-capacity. Build a consistent winner, and maybe, but they will always struggle putting butts in seats considering the nature of their student body and alumni base (lots of out of staters).

[@Iamhimbutyouarenot]

@@sasquatchsmash4183 if you win, it’ll be full. It’s that simple. When huge programs start losing, attendance suffers. It’s all the same. Win and it’ll be full.

Not yet. I think Oregon’s stadium size is perfect. Tulane needs a football ops center asap before any stadium expansion.

We beat Houston with our 3rd string QB. Injuries are part of the game. Maybe if Malzahn wasn't such a dirt bag, Keene would be staying and he could have played. That's on UCF, not Tulane.
